Dr. Jeff Livingston answered

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Blood comes out: Menstrual blood will flow out of the uterus and into the vagina. Sometime the cycle varies a little from month to month. If you would like more menstrual cycle control consider starting brith control for cycle regulation
